It was back in '32 when times were hard
  He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
  Stagger Lee
  He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
  Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
  Stagger Lee
  His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
  And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
  Stagger Lee
  So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud
  Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
  Stagger Lee
  He said "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am"
  The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"
  To Stagger Lee
  He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
  I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
  Mr. Stagger Lee
  Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
  And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day"
  Mr Stagger Lee
  Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
  'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head
  Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
  Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
  She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
  Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
  With Stagger Lee
  She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
  Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the motherfucker's head"
  She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.
  Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
  Mr. Stagger Lee
  "But there's something I have to say before you begin
  You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
  Mr. Stagger Lee"
  "I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass
  And furthermore I'll fuck Billy in his motherfucking ass"
  Said Stagger Lee
  "I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know
  And I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole"
  Said Stagger Lee
  Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be
  That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
  Stagger Lee
  "Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
  And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
  Said Stagger Lee
  Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head
  And Stag filled him full of lead
  Oh yeah.
